Haven't popped any yet, but ours definitely lost air overnight, also.

spacepenguine is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Who has popped their game pieces already?
Our blue square actually had a leak in the seam straight out of the box. I think we deflated the rest of the game pieces after our kickoff meeting though.

Re: Who has popped their game pieces already?
Hm, I'll be sure to find out at some point today. From the looks of things, it seems like they aren't as durable as I'd have hoped them to be. Not a big deal considering they could explode on the rack and still be in play, but something to keep in mind if anything else.

Re: Who has popped their game pieces already?
We can already recognize the gold-plate and diamond teams. However, this year may see another class emerge. What shall we call the team whose robot can pick up and hang a deflated game piece?!? Genuflection-worthy, fer sher.






So is re-inflation forbidden?

Re: Who has popped their game pieces already?
They are better then they were back in Rack n Roll, but they aren't bust proof. I can still see a big issue with tiny holes and leaking air.

Field Reset is going to have a blast!

We had an out-of-box failure on our circle, but the square and triangle are holding up nicely so far.

The ball retriever poles from last year may come in handy for that, come to think of it.

Nah...We just had some tall people on the Field Reset crew.

Being the short guy, my job was to blow them up and find the hundreds of holes and tape them up.

My team has a strict NO TOUCHY law for the tubes until they have gone through some training.
